hi guys looking to buy my first Porsche but cant seem to find this colour, am i right in thinking its custom. any help would be much appreciated.

 

Looks like terracotta

 

+1!!

 

Yep. Terracotta was offered as a color option on the 997.1. You can probably still get it as a Leather-to-sample color, but I believe that'll set you back about $5k.

 

thanx guys. now the search is on

 

Had this in my Boxster, loved it!

 

Teracotta in real life is actually just a tint more red, like the color of red mud, or wet clay.

Here is natural tan, which is more of a dark tan saddle color, and under indoor lighting conditions with a flash has a common hue with the one you posted.



Good luck with your search.

 

here is what I mean

 

I passed on a 996 TT-S with Teracota as the GLARE of the leather was too much for me ...

My advice would be to experience it in person and then decide whether you want it or not ...

With no ofense, you could possibly need this

 

I agree: Here is Terracotta:

 

I'm not convinced the OP's pic is terracotta. The pic ^ is def terracotta.

 

I love the Terracotta leather; the terracott caret - not so much. Terracotta looks superb with deviated black carpet.

 

im liking the natural tan but will have to see both the teracotta and tan in the flesh before i make a decision.
